like the tines of gridirOn. A more
uugainly figure seldom fronts camera.
Mrs. Potter has pretty though insipid
face, but she is a very awkward woman,
with an ungainly set of limbs.
The writer of this paragraph was in
the Windsor hotel baths at the same
time as Mrs. Potter, some ten years ago.
There were three of us sitting in sheets
on hot chairs in the Grill room one aft
ernOOn. We couldn't have beaten two
pairs, because we were not three of a
kind. The first lady was a monster.
Her irOn-gray head looked like a little
house on a big hill, such big, big
woman was she. The next one was a
pair of tOngS, tall, lOng-legged, slim,
and OH, how awkward! Beneath the
sheet her long legs joined at the knees,
and diverged.
Like streams that left the mountains brow
As though their waters neer could sever,
Yet ere they reached the floor below
Broke INTO feet that part forever"
The arms that matched these legs
were necessarily moving, and in repOSe
were folded over the breast like a
problem in Euclid.
A STUDY IN ANGLES.
Then the women were respectively
the widow of Dan Bryant and the wife
of James Brown Potter, fifteen years
before Nellie FitZ GibbOn Bryant was
as noted as Mrs. Potter for her good
looks, her fine dressing and her constant
presence at all public places. She also
eSSayed TecitatiOnS, and had a leaning
for the stage, but Dan died and she
dropped out of sight.
AS have said, should Mrs. Potter
score a success on the professional stage
hundred amateur fools in society will
make break for the same hole in the
fence.
One of the most honorable women, as
well as excellent actresses now living,
is Mad. POnisi, so long of Wallack's.
Since Mrs. Potter has been in England,
Madame has been sought out by dozen
society ladies and impOrtuned to teach
them a few pieces for Rotations among
friends. One of the selections is inva-
riably "'Ostler joe"
They never get through the first les
son without seeking to know if the
critical actress doesn't think they would
do as well in public as Mrs. Potter, and
in every case the actress. after telling
them she doesn't think Mrs. Potter (as
yeti has done as well as she
would with her husband and family in
private life, goes on to dissuade them
from essaying recitations or attempting
amateur acting. OF course, they get
another teacher, whose advice and opin-

their own inclination.

ERECTED TO THE MEMORY
OF
I. s. GRANT,
BY THE
Twenty-First Illinois Volunteers.

Gen. Grant had just been appointed
colonel of very demoraliZed regiment.
After many trials he had reached what
to him was the limit of his capacity as a
military leader, as he himself stated in
his letter to the adjutant general of the
army. He was directed to take his
regiment to Quincy, ILL.,, where he
demonstrated his ability to practically
prepare troops for active service. While
ON his way to Quincy he was ordered to
go to IrOntOn. Mo-, and there look after
the railroad property at that place. At
that time there was quite post
situated in the valley under the
command of B. GratZ Brown,
there being fort on Shepherd
mountain and one on Pilot Knob. The
latter was afterward evacuated. On his
arrival at IrOnton Grant went into camp
TO await transportation by boat. Here
commenced his real military career. Up
To this time his ambition had not aspired
higher than the position of colonel,
which he had obtained. Meanwhile he
had been under discussion at Washing
ton, the entire delegation recommending
him most highly to the president, who
conferred upon him his first star, the
commission dating May II, 1861, nearly
a month before he was appointed col
cnel, and before he even applied for the
command.
He was totally unaware of what was
going OH regarding him at headquarters,
and it was while sitting under the old
tree a messenger rode up to the camp
and delivered the colonel the papers
which made him general and started
MIN on his great career.
He was Immediately put in command
of the Missouri district, which included
Southern Missouri, Southern Illinois
and Western Kentucky and Tennessee,
and made his headquarters at ST. Louis.
a few months after the post in the
Arcadia valley was removed, as the
operations went southwark. but the old
oak will stand for many generations to
commemorate the event.

AN EXPERIMENT ANYBODY MAY TRY.

Take two glasses claret glasses. for ex-
ample), of exactly the same diameter ut the
rim, and inmerse them in a pail Of water.
Before removing them from the liquid, place
them rim to rim, so that both shall remain full
of water. as shown in the figure. We shall
thus have two glasses full Of water and con-
tanning no air. It will now be easy, by act
ing with caution, to separate them slightly
so as to leave small space between their
edges. Now take . third glass containing
wine, and pour the latter, drop by drop, on
the foot of the upper glass and allow it to
spread over the latter's surface. Upon reach
ing the line OF separation, the wine, instead Of
continuing its descent, will be seen to enter in
streamlets between the two glasses and rise
slowly in the upper one, owing to the differ
ence in density Of the wine and water. 1t is
possible in this way to color the water in the
upper glass entirely red without tingeing that
in the lower one.
The wine keeps to the upper glass through
tho action of capillarity, and rises therein, as
before stated, by reason of the difference in
density Of the two liquids. We must add
that the two glasses should be placed OIL a
troy, or something of she kind, in order that
the excess Of win. may be caught, since con-
siderable trickles down tho lower glass, while
but fraction Of it rises in the upper one.

interviewing Henry Ward Bcecher.

There are probably but few newspaper re-
porters in this city that have not interviewed
Henry Ward Beecher. The Plymouth pas
tor enjoys great popularity among the re-
porters, for he is accessible, genial, and, as o
rule, laxative. He Is always ready to ell
gage in harmless bit of chafr with the news

Tho last mentioned fact was recently i'm
pressed upon the alleged mind Of a swa9ger-

Brooklyn paper. A rumor that Mr.. Beeclier
was dead got started in some unaccountao 10
manner and spread like wildfre Reporters
by tho score hurried to Mr.. Bcecher's house
and were there confronted by the famous
preacher hale and hearty. After a willie

Bonnets and Their Trimmings.

many American women will not observe this
rule, it viii doubtless prevail to some extent.

view to matching costumes i'll color, as they

goods. Bonnets of black lace and black

nets, and these are lined with spinach or
